Niner RIP 9 RDO Carbon Sram XO1 Bike with Factory Wheels

The Niner RIP 9 RDO will re-awaken your passion for all-mountain riding. Niner took the ride quality and handling characteristics of the ground breaking RIP 9 and improved it on all levels with carbon frame, linkages, ISCG compatibility and additional travel. The unidirectional carbon frame employs bold swooping tubes that were engineered to be strong and take a ton of punishment. 125mm of fully active patented CVA suspension (designed from the ground up for 29-inch wheels) can be paired with either a 120 or 140mm fork to further fine tune the ride. The carbon links rotate on oversized Angular Contact Bearings for awesome lateral rigidity and immediate power transfer, and the integrated replaceable skid plate protects the bottom linkage so you can ride with confidence. The dropper post routing and ISCG 05 chainguide compatibility means you can build this frame to fit your riding style. The RIP 9 RDO features more tire clearance, full housing internal cable routing for a clean look and precision-machined alloy interfaces for the bottom bracket, direct-mount front derailleur and brake caliper post mounts. Handling has been improved with a tapered head tube up front and 142x12mm rear axle. Headset is not included.

Master the mountain using the Fox 34 Talas 29 140 CTD-ADJ FIT 15QR 1.5T. The innovative CTD dial provides three distinct travel settings: Climb, Trail, and Descend making it easier than ever to dial in your fork for your current terrain. The Climb mode is obviously the firmest setting, offering the greatest pedaling efficiency. The Trail mode offers moderate low-speed compression setting is activated for an optimal blend of pedaling efficiency and bike control on variable terrain. Trail mode activates to full-open for maximum control and plush performance on steep, aggressive descents. If you're building a full suspension rig, this same CTD is paralleled in the rear shock, making it incredibly easy to balance the ride characteristics of the bike as a whole. CTD lever is easily in reach, at the crown of the fork. Travel adjustments are now easier and quicker with the 2-position, crown-mounted Talas lever that instantly changes travel between 140 and 110mm to improve climbing ability. The re-tooled FIT RLC damper reduces oil volume and lightens the fork, while a special head seal prevents dirt penetration for instant small bump response. 140mm travel. Shock pump is sold separately.

The Maxxis CrossMark is the dramatic evolution of the Cross Country racing tire. The nearly continuous center ridge flies on hardpack, yet has enough spacing to grab wet roots and rocks. The slightly raised ridge of side knobs offers cornering precision never before seen on a tire this fast.

The wheels that you have purchased require no rim strip and include a valve stem for tubeless use. Additionally, the tires that you have selected may be used without tubes. This tubeless technology requires sealant to maintain air pressure.

Sealant helps stop many leaks and flats incurred during normal riding conditions. The solution can be used year round, even in sub freezing temperatures.

The SRAM CN-PCXX1 Chain 11-speed represents the latest breakthrough in a long line of precise, light-weight chains from SRAM. It's signed to deliver the greatest strength and reliability to a drivetrain that doesn't have to make compromises for front shifts. The XX1 chain has 4 times the elongation (wear) resistance to our 10-speed chains. This is due to the new finishing process on the inner links and rollers. Push pin strength, and ultimate strength are equivalent to our current chains. The XX1 chain lasts longer and is just as strong. (118 link)

The SRAM XO1 11-Speed Trigger Shifter features SRAM's new Zero Loss cable-pull ratio system to deliver a more uniform and accurate derailleur movement, with less applied force required from the user. Aluminum is used on the lever and cover for a lightweight and durable construction. Getting inside the shifter, you can expect a precise and dependable actuation mile-after-mile, through any terrain. The multi-adjustable trigger shifter lets you dial in your shifter to your exact reach specifications. The shifter also comes with a MatchMaker X compatible clamp. This creates easier accessibility and a clean aesthetic by placing your XLoc suspension controls securely next to your shifter.

The new XO Trail brake was designed for cross country to downhill and everything in between. With a powerful 4-piston dual-diameter caliper and innovative lever pivot bearing, it packs more power than any other brake in its class. An updated TaperBore design incorporates a new air-trap feature, which prevents potentially trapped air from entering the system, resulting in ridiculously smooth control you can count on. Super light carbon fiber lever blade with forged aluminum body, new HS1 rotors, aluminum hardware, pad contact and reach adjustments. Front and rear sold separately.

Hint for breaking-in:
New disc brake pads require a certain break-in period in order to provide the full brake power.
The following procedure has proved oneself: drag braking on a downhill until the brake power noticeably increases. Then let the brake rotor cool out. Afterwards do 20 full stops braking from a medium speed. Attention: the rotors get very hot, do not touch them!

Driven by a cutting-edge, single-ring carbon crank arms and seamless component integration, the SRAM XO-1 Carbon Crank Arms deliver flawless chain management and faster, more precise shifting. But the relationship between X01 components goes far beyond fitment. From the X-HORIZON rear derailleur with TYPE 2 technology to the super wide range 11-speed 10-42T cassette, each component is designed to function synergistically with the others, achieving what no other 1X drivetrain has before. Innovative tooth profile alternates thickness by inner and outer links, providing maximum chain control with no need for a chain catcher. Chainring and bottom bracket sold separately. 520 grams includes bolts.

While other systems rely on side loading the bearings to eliminate play (which causes premature bearing wear), the SRAM GXP bottom bracket system is different. The GXP system positions the left side bearing between the spindle and the left crankarm, while allowing the drive-side bearing to float axially on the spindle, thereby eliminating the necessity to side-load bearings during adjustment. GXP's design allows greater variation in BB shell alignment, maintaining precision and performance regardless of thread and construction irregularities in the frame. Installation is simple: once it is tightened to the proper specifications you are ready to roll with a worry free bottom bracket employing two bicycle specific cartridge bearings and eight seals for a smooth and long lasting ride.

This kit is priced using the Easton EA70 Riser Bar, Integrating the high-performance of EA70 aluminum alloy with proprietary TaperWall technology yields Easton's strongest and most popular aluminum riser bar. At just 265 grams, the Easton EA70 Riser bar provides a true, no compromises weight and performance advantage. Available in 40mm or 20mm rises with popular 9º back sweep and 685mm width for precise steering and a customizable cockpit. Black.

The Da Bomb Holy Shift Locking Grips are beautifully simple and offer a bomber hold with any hand position, wet or dry. A soft outer layer of Kraton rubber features a unique grid pattern on half of the grip. When you wrap your fingers around the grip they immediately fall into place within the grid for a secure hold. Plus, the grid offers the ability to move your hands around and still maintain grip in the pattern. The Holy Shifts are perfect for carbon bars because the internal plastic sleeves protect the carbon, while double lock-on clamps secure grips in place. (Clamps included.)
